Title: Random number generator and method for generating a random number
Inventor: DICHTL MARKUS
IPC: G06F7/58
Filed: 2002-01-24
Abstract: A random number generator includes a noise signal generating device for supplying a noise signal, a sampling device connected between an output of the noise signal generating device and an output of the random number generator and sampling the noise signal in a sampling state and not sampling the noise signal in an idle state. The random number generator further includes a control oscillator for supplying a control alternating signal, the frequency of the control alternating signal of the control oscillator not being rigidly coupled to the frequency of the noise signal. The random number generator further includes an enabling device which puts the sampling device in the sampling state when the noise signal or the signal derived from the noise signal is in a first trigger state, and when, subsequently, the control alternating signal of the control oscillator is in a second trigger state. This is to ensure that the frequency of the output samples of the random number generator depends on the frequency of the noise signal, whereas the phase position is determined by the frequency of the control oscillator. Thus, the frequency of the output samples can be set and adjusted to existing requirements in a simple manner using the frequency setting functionality of the noise signal generating device.

IPC: G01R33/56
Filed: 2004-04-08
Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé permettant d'estimer la variation spatiale d'une intensité de signal HF dans des images à résonance magnétique d'un objet. L'estimation peut servir à renforcer le contraste dans une image à résonance magnétique en corrigeant la variation spatiale des intensités HF découlant de non uniformités dans des bobines de réception HF d'un appareil d'imagerie par résonance magnétique acquérant l'image ainsi que les distorsions découlant de l'objet et de l'observation elle-même. A cet effet, on utilise au moyen d'une imagerie composée d'un milieu à densité de spins sensiblement uniforme entourant l'objet. A partir de l'analyse du milieu environnant et de l'emplacement de points conceptuels de réception des signaux HF, une formulation mathématique semi-empirique du profil de désintégration de l'intensité des signaux HF dans l'objet est déterminée. Cette formulation mathématique est ensuite appliquée à des intensités de signal sélectionnées du milieu entourant l'objet afin d'obtenir une estimation de la variation spatiale de l'intensité des signaux HF dans l'objet.

La position de l'aiguille indicatrice (315) sur le disque de plomb (303), établie par rapport à deux ensembles de marques (316 et 317) prévues sur le corps (302), permet au chirurgien de déterminer un premier angle dans un premier plan, et un second angle dans un second plan. Dans une forme de réalisation exemplaire, les premier et second angles sont des angles anatomiques associés à l'insertion chirurgicale d'éléments de prothèse.
